From Zero to 4,474: Building an Online Presence That Works

A year ago, Big Blue Bike Company didn’t have a website. Today? They've had over 4,400 sessions and nearly 3,500 unique visitors.

That’s the power of starting with the right foundation.

When this southeast Nebraska-based e-bike company partnered with Oak Street Marketing, LLC, they knew it was time to take their visibility seriously, but without fluff, ads, or trendy distractions. We focused on two key objectives: launching a clean, user-friendly site and implementing SEO that resonates directly with their local audience.

Here’s what we’ve seen since launching:

  • +921% site session growth

  • +893% growth in unique visitors

  • 1,659 clicks from Google search alone

  • 737% increase in direct traffic

  • 661 visits from organic Facebook content

  • Even Bing search traffic jumped +1,322%

Yes, really.

This isn’t about “going viral.” It’s about creating visibility where it counts—in the places where real customers are looking for solutions. In a town of just 12,000 people, this traffic represents high intent, local interest, and growing trust.

What we did:

  • Designed and launched a user-friendly Wix website

  • Optimized every page with locally focused keywords

  • Connected their Google Business profile for search visibility

  • Leveraged strategic Facebook content to drive warm traffic

No shortcuts. No paid ads. Just consistent storytelling, SEO strategy, and an experience that’s easy to find—and even easier to navigate.

What This Means for Your Business

Your customers are already searching. Whether you're a local boutique or a rural feedlot, your website isn’t just a brochure—it’s your digital handshake. And when it’s built with strategy and intention, it becomes your most powerful marketing tool.

And on a personal note…

Working with Big Blue Bike Company has been career-shifting in the best way. What started as a website project quickly became a front-row seat to the grit, vision, and heart that powers small-town businesses. Watching their team grow from zero web presence to thousands of meaningful interactions—without losing an ounce of their identity—reminded me exactly why I do this work.

Helping them get visible didn’t just build their brand—it deepened my own mission: to ensure small businesses have a real shot at standing out without compromising their values. And that starts with visibility, built the right way.
